Join us as we kick off the 2025 Rebel Knowledge Symposium with a screening of the film "peace love (unicorns) & communism" followed by a discussion and Q&A with the director Adeola Egbeyemi.
About the film:
Chatting with another recent graduate, a former student activist learns about the controversial origin of a now-beloved campus group. she embarks on a journey through the recent past, weaving conversations with a vast ensemble of young organizers into a tapestry of disruption and determination. political, personal and bursting with youthful exuberance, peace love (unicorns) and communism is a homegrown chronicle of a decade of movements at McMaster University. as past struggles echo in the present, the film poses an urgent question to today's rising generation: do you believe that we will win?
